So of course the moment my software engineering job ends, all my dormant computer-geek urges flare up. Today I went to WeirdStuff, a business that could only exist in Silicon Valley, specializing in pieces of computer that are useless to almost, but not quite, everyone on earth. Best sight at WeirdStuff: A pile of IBM Thinkpad keyboards wrenched from their former homes in actual computers, with a sign that said: "THESE LAPTOPS ARE MISSING PARTS." I would've said these parts are missing laptops. I didn't buy anything.
